YOUTUBE star KSI is set to stand in for Bruno Tonioli on Britain’s Got Talent when there is a filming clash.
The show’s auditions will be earlier than usual for the next series so Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno, 68, will not be on the panel for some of them.
But his US commitments may open the door for celeb boxer and rapper KSI, 30, who has a huge Instagram following as an influencer.
He is in talks with bosses keen to pull in a younger audience for the ITV show.
A source said: “Simon Cowell knows KSI is a huge hit with the younger generation.
“He would be a great addition to pull in teenage fans, which is something the producers are keen to do.
“KSI is chatting to bosses in the hope of agreeing a deal that would also work with his hectic schedule.”
Recent BGT series have run from April to June but it will now be screened later in the year, replacing Saturday Night Takeaway.
KSI, who has also starred on Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox, is in negotiations to fight ex-world champ Amir Khan, 37, through the Misfits Boxing promotion group the YouTuber heads.
